That is a beautiful photo!
I just saw on the news this past weekend that the Monarch Butterflies are dwindling. The report said a lot of it this year has to do with the wet weather and violent storms in Mexico. Anyways, it is enough of a difference in their population to become worried and they suggested that we plant milkweed. It seems that once ingested by butterflies, it makes them taste bad (or toxic) to their predators. They were saying they are worried about their survival since their seems to be so few sightings this year as to previous years. They even suggested it would be great to see the milkweed planted along highways as well as in our backyards.
Just wanted to put that out there........if you love butterflies, plant milkweed! =)

Where do you get milkweed? Do they sell seeds? I wonder if it grows everywhere - like in So. Cal?

^^^Sorry I am just now getting back to this thread. That's a very good question, I am not sure where to get it, or where it does best. I will look into it though, because I <3 Butterflies!!! When I find out I will post it back here. |

My Dad says it grows as a weed in Illinois. I'm in So. Cal., and am clueless.

I have Butterfly bushes at my house and they attract all manner of butterflies from summer to late fall. I see Swallowtails and Monarchs as well as many other species. Marie-Nicole http://marienicoleryan.com |

UPDATE....
It turns out that milkweed can be started from seed, or purchased at nurseries. However, it seems to take over, so is probably best left to planting along highways, etc. Unless you have a large enough area to just plant it and let it take over! *sighs* (I don't)
